I remember having to truck across a bridge like that on a job I was on. I did not like that. LOL

Was better at night because I couldn't see the bottom.

It's a long way to the bottom if you want to rock and roll!

WE used to do repair work on one of the Gulf Island ferry terminals .Locals got cranky about us driving piles on nite shift so we went back to working days between sailings . The trestle was similar to the one in the above picture ,maybe not as substantial.We were changing bearing piles and had one of the middle piles out when the ship came in .with car and light truck traffic we would just throw a deck plank down and let them proceed. This sailing had a loaded logging truck coming off . As we were not to mess with the ferry schedule and being haywire pile drivers we opted to let him pass .Stood on the barge beside it with all fingers crossed as he passed ,a little creak n groan and we were ok . Just another one of the nail biters you suffer thru trying to keep every one happy.

One of those looks out of place, LOL
Actually a good friend of mine hauled all kinds of logs out of the bush in one of those little GM's, just the older version, I'm not up on GM model numbers.
I have pics of it wooded up twice as high as the cab and all it had was a little 6-71 Detroit.

I know which one is my favorite.......I spent a lot of time in those Paystar 5000 6x6's in the bush.

Alberta may have BC smoked when it comes to heavy haul trucks but BC definitely has the nicest logging trucks in the country. Just can't beat the nice, clean look of a classic 5-7 axle long logger.

"Little 6-71?" You must be a young pup. I can remember when half if not more trucks had 6-71s. We thought they were a big engine those days.

An internet picture not mine .I always though a truck like this was the classic highway log hauler . Practical not eating tires and fuel.

The best drivers I’ve known didn’t mess around with unnecessary stuff.

You should see the stupid laws up here in Ontario. To get max 63,500 KG gross a self loader truck has to be a twin steer tri-drive with a 3 axle pup trailer.

Or for a trailer truck it is a tractor with a 5 axle trailer.

5 axles is all they have around here, figure it doesn't scrub up the pavement I guess. 80,000 lbs and that is that, no 105,500 or anything like that.

One big reason we like many others don't run California. 98% of the company trucks are
configured for extended weight.

Come to Michigan . . . 11 axles/164,000lb

When I see Michigan units all I ever thought to myself is no way I'd ever want to have to buy all those tires.....or even try and get underneath the thing to do a brake adjustment, LOL
